Sock Summit Stashed Skeins

Hello and welcome to the land of huge purchases. They aren't huge individually, but it adds up quickly.

I did my best to support the economy.

1. This is from Knitted Wit. So is the next entry. They are the same base yarn. This is their Superwash merino. It is 410 yards, knit on a 2-3 and is 4 oz. This is the colorway Lion.2. This is the colorway I also bought. I have the ball band around here somewhere. 3. This is from DyeDreams and is their Dream Sox. It is 75% superwash Merino and 25% nylon. It is 464 yards and 3.5 oz.

It is 80& washable merino wool, 10% cashmere and 10% nylon. This is the Scout colorway, she is one of my favorite literary characters of all time.
